Underneath the dark night sky and faintly glowing stars, a young teen walked down the streets of a huge city.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2p6iO9qwj
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAUPx10ixD8b
He sighed, pulling at his hoodie a bit to cover his face more, and he looked down at his blue, worn sneakers through blurry eyes.1004Please respect copyright.PENANA7CekLQ0AgX
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAyzAcR8qXxk
At this hour, it was safe to say most of the city was asleep, but he was wide awake. Mentally tired, but he was wide awake. He didn't feel sleepy at all, and he wouldn't dare close his eyes right now.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAAaoMxh03sm
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAD8ooLNF8zM
Not after that fight. If you could even call it that.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAa5E272Wm0U
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAHmENKnvR4a
The teen held back a sob, rubbing his arm against his face to get rid of the tears. He just wanted to forget right now. It'd be good for his anxiety to just pretend he lived a different life for now.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAhO25UqWpDR
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAuwP9poQ69b
Then he quickly rushed into a small, run-down restaurant that stayed open even at night. Of course, the place was very empty, save a woman behind the counter and a young man at one of the few tables.1004Please respect copyright.PENANADcP1aYTOON
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAPnnwdAlfHT
The teen sighed again, feeling a bit better in the warm room instead of the crippling cold air that somehow made him feel even more numb then he already was. He walked over to one of the tables--the one near the other teen--collapsing in it and pulling his hoodie back, revealing his black shaggy hair.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAUQKeWBmi5B
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAMi784MRO7K
Then the woman behind the counter walked over to him. "What can I get you?"1004Please respect copyright.PENANAOezasG8jrv
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAfY5dVI3O5Z
The teen thought about it for a moment. He didn't feel like eating. And he didn't have much money on him. "Hot tea."1004Please respect copyright.PENANAjnkuCr6Qwn
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAFeVAjHaVNm
The woman nodded, walking off, and the boy near him glanced at him, "Your eyes look a bit red there."1004Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1g4RNB02W
1004Please respect copyright.PENANA4jJG1oOSQJ
"Its none of your business." The teen snapped, glaring at his table.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAyyGD3619zm
1004Please respect copyright.PENANALNDa27Y7OV
"Its a bit late to be out and about, isn't it?" The other teen continued.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAn7oCv3P69F
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAIfZiCK7SDH
"I can say the same. And anyways, haven't you ever heard that you shouldn't talk to strangers?" The teen snapped again, this time glaring at the light brown, messy haired boy.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAs7M2DWGvGk
1004Please respect copyright.PENANA2JrtqwpXqa
The second boy laughed a little. "Well, when you can't even trust your family to not hurt you, does it even matter then? Plus, think about it, how would anyone make friends if they didn't talk to strangers?"1004Please respect copyright.PENANAM0PHX1skhj
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAYregTYvVDH
The black haired boy stared at him curiously, though didn't say anything, and the other boy didn't say anything else since the waitress walked back over, placing a mug of hot tea in front the black haired teen.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAdSkoAh78FH
1004Please respect copyright.PENANADltWaK3KZZ
Though once she left, the brown haired boy stood up with his plate of some sort of cake with white frosting on it, walking over to the black haired boys table, sitting down.1004Please respect copyright.PENANA8cFQye0LKn
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAHEWbvF56ve
The black haired boy glared at him a little, though was curious on what he was going to do.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAhCfP8gbxzF
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAZw16fzlOfn
Then, the brown haired boy picked up a knife. The first teen widened his eyes, tensing slightly.1004Please respect copyright.PENANA5Lj4KnUHpM
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAwUeit8QRo4
But then...the brown haired boy cut into the middle of his cake. "Hey, waitress, get us another plate!"1004Please respect copyright.PENANAqs4YwudLxK
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAuU3nhUmyvJ
"Sure thing." The woman told him, grabbing up a small clean dish and walking over to the table, setting it down, and the brown haired boy transferred one of the pieces of the cake to the other plate, sliding it over to the other teen. "Relax, Stranger, I just ordered this cake, so its not like I had enough time to poison it." The second teen joked, glancing at the boy across him.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAKxPoVkcxGg
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAwYFqBIYOHp
The black haired boy just stared at the cake in surprise. Was he...really going to eat that? Wasn't that...weird?1004Please respect copyright.PENANAhSmnDOMjIF
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAs5t1tXPEDU
"Seriously man, sweets help calm the nerve." The brown haired teen told him as he started eating his slice.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAQL1SceDiVa
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAY3oiyFjW7V
The black haired teen grabbed up a spoon that was on the napkin beside his mug, before bringing it over to his cake to cut a small bit off to start with. "Thank you..."1004Please respect copyright.PENANA4Mzsdi0XXn
1004Please respect copyright.PENANA24Y9XdbhWC
"No problem. So, do you...want to talk about it?" The teen asked him carefully.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAjjvIswSJon
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAhQoh45numj
The black haired boy glanced down into his mug, looking at his reflection, and when he didn't answer the teen, the guy shifted, sighing slightly. "I mean, we're strangers, bound to never meet again, and we both have our problems, so we might as well get it off our chests, since I'm sure you have no one to talk to, and I don't either."1004Please respect copyright.PENANAuQhX9j9Eru
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAiisGZVvIYD
When the boy said this, the black haired teen took in a breath, before hesitantly starting to talk.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAUS1tYRoKWt
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAmSuiSMJYm3
"My parents are both really strict and are complete jerks who don't understand me, and yell at me and get on to me about every little thing, and I'm tired of it. I don't have any friends, save my boyfriend who just slapped me and yelled at me before breaking up." He explained snappily, and he could feel the tears welling up in his eyes again.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAwGggbAlnsm
1004Please respect copyright.PENANABt6NC5uGMZ
The brown haired boy frowned at him. "I'm sorry to hear that. Does...your parents know...? I mean, that your gay?"1004Please respect copyright.PENANAsBIUhEoFF8
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAsIQ1nm4mCb
"Yeah...and honestly, they barely accepted me for it." The black haired teen muttered, taking another bite of his cake...it tasted like chocolate and it was so amazing. It basically melted in his mouth too. And the hot tea went well with it.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAdMOY1q20GB
1004Please respect copyright.PENANA02bY86wzCd
"Well, at least they kinda accepted you." The brown haired teen told him with a gentle smile, standing up and pulling some money out of his pocket and laying it down on the table before starting to walk out of the building.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAOEGxtjV40B
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAGy99P5ius6
"Hey, what about you?" The black haired boy quickly asked, standing up and almost knocking the entire table down in his haste.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAOHdbr0gf1p
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAiHb1u5w0hI
Then the other teen smiled at him. "Oh, I ran away. My parents couldn't accept me, and I was constantly being used by other boys. Nice talking to you, Stranger."1004Please respect copyright.PENANAoTsvfgff6s
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAWilEB6WuX3
And with that, the teen left, the black haired teen staring after him.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAK1gpodSjoE
He felt better, really, but he also felt...strange. Maybe he should chase that boy.1004Please respect copyright.PENANArfkmZPyPxN
1004Please respect copyright.PENANAur4HAIRSrN
So, with that decided, he ran out of the restaurant. But when he was outside, he didn't see anyone in sight.1004Please respect copyright.PENANAecq4gvC9p8
1004Please respect copyright.PENANA04bRmWNLg5
The teen was gone, like he was never there in the first place.
